11. Do not allow passengers to get on any
part of the excavator seat throughout
operation.
12. Check mechanical parts for correct
adjustments and wear. Exchange worn or
damaged parts immediately.
13. Keep your excavator clean. Heavy
soiling, grease, dust and grass can
inflame and cause accidents or injuries.
14. Use only ACHILLES authorized
attachments.
15. Before starting the excavator, be
absolutely sure that the excavator has
been filled with fuel, lubricated, greased
and undergone other
maintenance
work.
16. Do not modify the excavator, otherwise
it could lead to unforeseen safety
problems.
17. Make sure attachments, particularly
those utilizing quick attach systems, are
securely mounted.
2. STARTING OF THE EXCAVATOR
1. Get into and out of the machine safely.
Always face the machine. Always use
handrails and available steps and keep
yourself well balanced. Do not hold any
of the control Levers and switches. Do
not jump on or off the machine, whether
stationary or in motion.
2. Start and control the excavator only from
the operator’s seat. The driver should not
lean out of his seat when the engine is
running.
3. Before starting the engine, make sure
that all control levers (including auxiliary
control levers) are in their neutral
positions.
4. Do not start the engine by jumping the
starter connections. Do not try to
circumvent using the starter switch,
otherwise the engine could start suddenly
and the excavator could move.
5. Make sure that the dozer is on the front
side. (The dozer must be raised.) If the
levers are activated with the dozer on the
rear end, the driving direction is in the
opposite direction of the drive levers.
